What you can expect

Your day starts with convenient morning pickup from your designated meeting point. Depending on your accommodation location, the transfer to the first stop takes approximately 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.

Discover the highlights of Heraklion on this guided day tour, combining history, culture, and local life.

Your journey begins with a visit to the legendary Knossos Palace, the heart of Minoan civilisation and home to the myth of the Labyrinth. Enter the archaeological site with your professional guide and uncover the fascinating stories and mysteries of one of Europe’s oldest civilisations.

After the guided tour, enjoy some free time to take photos and admire the impressive remains of this ancient site.

Continue to Heraklion city centre, where you will join a guided walk through the main highlights of the city. Following the tour, you will have approximately 2.5 hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Stroll through the Old Market, relax at a local café, shop for traditional products, or optionally visit the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion (without guide).

At the end of the day, sit back and relax on your return transfer to your accommodation.
